Hey Days of our Lives fans, Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) will soon hear from Tate Black (Leo Howard) about his suspicions. It sounds like it’s about Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) being not so dead, which means Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote) might be at risk again from her former Bayview bestie.
Of course, you know that Brady will go all out and protect Rachel at all costs. This week on Days of our Lives, Brady listens as Tate shares his doubts about whether Sophia really is dead and gone. All this started a while back, with these little hints. Tate was skeptical at first.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Brady Hears Tate’s Doubts About Sophia
His girlfriend Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) was getting strange texts. At first, she thought they were from Mason Whitfield (Brandon Butler), who had flat out told her he blamed Holly for Sophia’s death. Turns out that was because Mason talked to Sophia several times on the suicide crisis hotline. She had told him about Holly.
Despite the awful things Sophia admitted doing to Holly, we know Mason blamed her at first. Now he’s gotten to know Holly and he’s changed his tune. Mason even convinced Holly to volunteer at the crisis hotline. Mason’s been training her, and that’s when they got the shock.
DOOL Spoilers: Holly and Mason Take a Hotline Call That Sounds Like Sophia
With Holly listening in, Mason took a hotline call. Both of them swore that the caller sounded just like Sophia Choi. She said strange things, like it was nice to hear a familiar voice. That’s a red flag, because she’s spoken to Mason before as Sophia.
Here’s another red flag. She mentioned being back in Salem, as if she had left. Not long before that, Holly had seen a young woman in town square that she thought was Sophia, but it turned out it was just a rando. After Mason and Holly took the call and discussed whether it might have been Sophia, things escalated.
At first, Mason and Holly decided, sounds like her, but nah, we must have been wrong. After the suspicious call, though, Holly spotted Sophia on Halloween in the square. She and Holly made brief eye contact. Then Sophia panicked, yanked down her Day of the Dead mask and ran off.
Kristen Pays Sophia to Leave Salem on Days
Presumably she was leaving. Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) gave Sophia the money she promised. Kristen told her to leave Salem and not come back. Sophia had her suitcase and she seemed to be going. But that also seems way too easy, especially since we’re in November sweeps.
Holly then told Mason she saw Sophia. Mason and Holly agreed that Sophia’s body was never found. There was also the recent crisis hotline call that sounded like her, and then Holly seeing her. That means Sophia must be alive, and she is on Days of our Lives.
Tate has been hesitant to believe Holly. But Tate was there when Mason and Holly were going over their suspicions, and she and Mason agreed Sophia’s alive. Initially Tate was giving him kind of some skeptical side eye. Now his mind is changing too.
Amy Choi Knows Sophia Is Alive on Days of Our Lives
That’s because Holly decided to talk with Sophia’s mom, Amy Choi (Shi Ne Nielson), and it got weird. Holly told Tate that Amy was acting really off. Holly told Amy that she saw Sophia, looked her right in the eye, on Halloween. Holly said that she heard Sophia on the hotline.
Amy looked like a deer in headlights. Of course she knows Sophia is very much alive. Sophia had asked her, Amy, not to tell anybody. Sophia told Amy she would be arrested for the attempted murder of Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman). Then Sophia begged Amy, just let me go.
Sophia promised she would eventually be in touch. She also told Amy that one day she might even be able to tell her father and brothers she didn’t kill herself. Holly understandably found Amy’s reaction bizarre.
Amy told Holly, don’t involve the police. Let’s just let Sophia come back to Salem when she’s ready, rather than having the Salem PD conduct a manhunt to find her. Amy doesn’t want Sophia sent to Statesville or sent back to Bayview again.
Bottom line, right now Holly, Amy and also Sophia are all in the dark about Kristen trying to kill Sophia. It was a miracle she survived. Kristen bashed her head in with a rock. Then came her near drowning, after Kristen’s goons tossed Sophia into the river. Of course, Kristen’s thankful that Sophia doesn’t remember that.
Kristen Goes on the Run From EJ
Now Kristen and Sophia are both on the run. EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) figured out Kristen hired Sophia to try and murder Johnny, and of course EJ’s livid. He’d really like to see Kristen dead but decided to just exile her to a DiMera Island. Then she and Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) thwarted him.
This week, EJ was infuriated that Kristen snuck into Lexie’s memorial disguised as his kooky mom, Susan Banks (also Stacy Haiduk). We know Kristen only came back to Salem because Brady let her know Rachel had appendicitis and needed emergency surgery. At the time, Kristen was out hunting for Sophia and just found her.
The thing is, Brady knows that Kristen is on the run from EJ. She tricked mentally ill Sophia into doing her dirty work and attacking Johnny. Brady knows Sophia is quite the manipulator. She befriended Rachel at Bayview and then revealed to her she was faking catatonic.
Next, Sophia used Rachel to help her sneak out of the mental hospital. Sophia also had Rachel steal money from Brady so that Sophia could buy a burner phone. To top it all off, Sophia used Rachel as her drug mule when she was dosing Holly with psych meds in her supplement bottle.
Brady Could Dig Into Sophia’s Return on Days of our Lives
Holly just told Tate about meeting with Amy and how off she was acting. Tate knows Holly is insistent that Sophia is alive, and it seems like he is finally convinced. When Tate shares suspicions with Brady, he may want his dad to dig around and find out if Sophia really is alive.
Since Brady knows Kristen used Sophia to harm Johnny, Brady may be alarmed. For all he knows, if Sophia is alive, she may be back for revenge on Kristen. With Kristen on the run, Brady may worry psycho Sophia will target Rachel instead. Watch the full video on YouTube.
I’m sure if Tate tells Brady about the Sophia theory, he’s going to freak out. He’s going to want to protect Rachel from Sophia, and from Rachel finding out her mom tried to kill Johnny. Plus, Sophia knows that Rachel recently had surgery. She knows Kristen was really worried about her daughter.
Sophia could show up benevolently just to check on Rachel and wish her well, before Sophia ducks out of town with her cash stash to start that new life. She really liked Rachel, even though she used her for selfish reasons when they were in Bayview. I mean, Sophia is at about the same emotional maturity level as Rachel. That probably helped their bonding.
DOOL Spoilers Suggest Brady Will Protect Rachel From Sophia
As of now, it looks like Kristen finally wised up and ran from Salem to avoid EJ, but we’ll see. We’ve heard Stacy Haiduk wrapped her run at Days of our Lives, but I’m sure Kristen will be back one day.
As for Sophia, it feels too easy for her to be gone already, especially with Holly on high alert, and also Mason and now Tate. Brady may flip out over what Tate says and Brady may start digging. He may alert Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols), his PI partner.
I would expect Brady wants Holly and Mason to go to the Salem Police Department and report the phone call and the sightings to Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu). As for Rachel, we should see Brady taking extra precautions in case Sophia is coming back for his daughter.
